Scapegoating part 2: The Seven Stages of Hate Groups…..

Now many have likened the three described in part one to a cult, I find this somewhat inaccurate. While many are religious, Hatred of a breed of animal is not a religion, They are instead a Hate Group, Like all hate groups, they are subject to the seven stages of hate. Which I will go into further depth as to how it applies here.

Stage one: The haters Gather.

As this is an INTERNET hate group, the gathering started small, a website here or there, but has ballooned, there are now almost as many groups and pages out there hating these innocent dogs as there seem to be legitimate members of the groups. (There is quite a lot of evidence that many of the more violent members have multiple accounts.)

Stage two: The hate group defines itself.

The most unfortunate thing, is this hate group tried to define itself as a Victims advocacy, Adopting a ribbon that if you are not paying attention, looks similar to the POW/MIA ribbons. They looked for every dog attack in the news, trying to call the animal a Pit Bull when it wasn’t. They once called a Spanish Mastiff a Pit Bull, For those who do not know breed nicknames, a Spanish Mastiff is also known as a Great Dane.

Stage Three: The hate group disparages the target.

This still goes on. Every day in their little groups they talk about how much they hate Pit Bulls, thinking it is private they feel perfectly free to use the words Hate and Kill.

Stage four: The hate group Taunts the target

This also happens every day, They go on Pit Bull advocacy groups, Rescue groups, and news articles about good dogs and attack them for being Pit Bulls. They also stalk the bite news, trying to bully the victims into joining their group.

Stage Five: attacking the target without weapons.

This one is harder to prove, as the nature of their hate is fear based. They FEAR the Pit Bull. Instead, I would point out how often they talk of ways to stop attacking dogs (Rare occurrences that they themselves admit has not happened more than once to them.) One goes around the internet telling every dog owner, responsible or not, to carry a Dangerous for both parties item called a break stick in case their Perceived Pit Bull attacks. Trust me, the LAST thing you want to do if a Dog attacks is get your hands into their mouths.

Stage six : Attacking the Target WITH weapons.

Every time a Pit Bull suffers an untimely and painful death They celebrate it. They deny any inclusion publicly, but privately brag about know they will kill/have killed the dogs. Fortunately for court proceedings they forget about the privacy settings on their little groups, and this bragging ends up public knowledge. God only knows what goes on in their one secret group, Lets hope they get judged for it.

Stage seven: The hate group destroys the target

Most will publicly admit this is their end game. Two of the leaders mentioned in the first part have publicly stated that they will not rest until every Dog that can possibly be called a Pit Bull are dead. Many of their underlings parrot this statement, often taking a “Kill them all!” Stance against a dog that millions go every day without hurting a flea. The only reason they lead the bad bite statistics is that there ARE so many of them. If there were millions of Great Danes or Poodles, those breeds would lead the bite statistics. The more there are of a dog, The more likely bad owners will get them. This group of people refuse to acknowledge the real culprit, The owner of the dogs.

Unlike how these people think, a dog lives in the now. Pit Bulls Do not know they were bred for bad things, They only know how they are treated. If they are treated badly, they will act badly, But if they are treated right, like Millions of bully types are today, they can be the sweetest, most loyal animals you have ever met.

This sweetheart has her own acre and a half and would never hurt anyone
